I have a feeling De Boer has been a done deal for a while, I just don't think the club wanted the news to get out ahead of getting rid of Sherwood and that's why they are showing interest in Poch now,
Maybe wishful thinking on my part, but I can't see why De Boer ever said anything if there was nothing there
I guess an announcement will happen soon enough though, Ajax are back on Sunday so I imagine something should be announced by the end of next week
I think you might be right about the timing of the announcement, even the week after.
